Assistant Principal’s Message
As the year draws to an end I am seeking your support with a number of things.
Uniform
I’ve noticed over the past few weeks that students have been issued with an increasing number of uniform cautions. With formals and other special events taking place, students have been electing to get acrylic nails and lash extensions. Please remember that these items are contrary to the uniform code and should be removed before coming to school. Students may be sent home until uniform concerns are rectified, if they can’t be immediately addressed. This year students have been spoken to many times about uniform requirements, therefore for the remainder of the year any student who is issued with a caution for a uniform infringement will also be given an after school detention.
Early Leave
I also would like to remind you of the process if your daughter needs to take early leave. Learning will continue right to the end of term so appointments should be made outside of school hours. On the rare occasion where this is not possible for parents it is preferable an attendance note is added into Compass. If for some reason you are unable to do this, students need to bring a letter of request on the day of the intended departure.This note must be written and signed by the parent/carer. Before leaving the College the student MUST present to Student Services to sign out. It is the responsibility of the student to make their own way to Student Services to sign out. Unless absolutely necessary parents should not be turning up at the College to collect students without prior notification. The College cannot let a student leave without a note from a parent/carer or one in Compass.
It is important to focus on the little things to ensure the College runs smoothly.
